A single continuous grey line traces the familiar shape of a heart, though Bertram leaves the form deliberately incomplete at the crown - a thin vertical stroke cuts through rather than joins, suggesting interruption rather than wholeness. The muted, chalky tone drains the symbol of sentiment, repositioning it as a study in contour and absence. What remains is a quiet investigation into how recognition survives structural incompleteness.
